Soap News ..... OHHHH noo she dint !!!


Most people dont know this, but Brazil is also know Internationally for having the best soap operas on the plante. Yeah I know Soap Operas, really? But i have got to admit that i have watched many soaps throughout my life, and im not the only one. Infact watching soaps in Brazil is like a religion. The main cable company ``Globo´´ usually has three a day. One at 18:00, which is 6PM, one at 19:00, which is at 7PM, and the last and most important soap at 21:00, which is at 9PM.. the 9PM soap is the most envolving drama, usually being called the noble hour because the Soaps at this time, are usually the best ones. 

 Salve Jorge is the current 9PM soap. Its on its final weeks, and i can say that It is not the best one i have seen. It tells the story of young girl named Morena, who in search of a better life for her and her son,  agrees to  go work as a waitress in restaurant in Istanbul. Unfortunetly for Morena, there was no job, and no restaurant, she was taken to a nightclub and forced to become a prostitute. Morena fell victim to human trafficking, and the rest of the story relates to what she goes through, and the troubles she has to overcome and make her way back home. 

Dramatic i know... and most soaps usually go for 8 months or so, then it ends, and a new one begins.. They are dramatic, but they can also be fun, and engaging.

Voce sabe / Do you know ?

BPIB #2      Belo Horizonte

For the second post, of ``Best places in Brazil´´ i have to introduce my beautiful city of Belo Horizonte. 

  

 Belo horizonte or  just ``BH´´ as we like to call it. 
It is the capital and the largest city in the state of Minas Gerais, located in the Southeastern region of Brazil.

The city is built on several hills and it is compleatly surounded by mountains. It is also the third biggest city in brasil.

This is the city I grew up in and to this day I am absolutly in love with BH. The food, the nightlife, the people, the architecture. It is truly an amazing city. 

It is know for the many bars, and food. Mineiro, people from Minas Gerais like to say that because there are no beaches, we go to the bars.. 

So anyone thinking of making a trip to Brasil, think about stopping by my city, You might not leave with a tan, but you will leave with your belly full =)
